Wingfield oil plant fire contained

Around 15 units, air support, over 50 MFS fire fighters, CFS volunteers, SES volunteers and South Australian Police officers have been at the area since around 11:30am yesterday, when the fire started.

The MFS advised that the fire has been contained at around 11pm overnight, after several explosions were heard in the plant during the day, and steps were taken to stop the leakage of flammable fuels from the site.

Several cars on the site were damaged from the fire, with a large, black plume of smoke visible from the site for most of yesterday.

Seven MFS units remained at the scene overnight, extinguishing hot spots around the premises.

Three crews with thermal imaging cameras will search the complex today for re-ignition points, with a grappling crane and excavator used to turn items to uncover hot spots.

Traffic restrictions for the area remain, with South Terrace closed to all traffic between Wingfield Road and South Road, except for local traffic entering business premises within South, West, North and East Terraces.

North bound traffic on South Road is still be redirected between Cormack Road and the Expressway.

The freight rail line between Dry Creek and Outer Harbor is now open to all freight.

An area bordered by South Terrace, South Road, Phyllis Street and the northern end of Millers Road has been declared a dangerous area.

Traffic restrictions for the area are hoped to be removed later in the day, when the site has been deemed safe by the MFS.
